Hi

Yes I get a feeling of a tight chest & as if I cannot breath when my anxiety is bad

As long as you have been checked with your GP & they have said everything is fine then it will be you anxiety causing this

If you can try & practice your breathing when you feel like this by taking a deep breath in holding it a few seconds & slowly letting it back out it can help regulate it again , it can take some practice & be hard to do but you do get better at it or if that doesn't work the old fashioned way of breathing in & out with a paper bag works really well :-)

Love
